After nearly 11 years in federal politics, former Conservative leader Erin O'Toole gave his final speech to Parliament.

Police chiefs across the country are sounding the alarm over a recent rise in violent crime. Ten police officers in Canada have been killed since September, and violent attacks on public transit have many Canadians concerned about safety in their communities. After pressure from the provinces and police, the federal government introduced changes to bail aimed at cracking down on repeat violent offenders. ‘The West Block' host Mercedes Stephenson speaks to Justice Minister David Lametti about the bail reform changes. Plus, ahead of special rapporteur David Johnston's long-awaited announcement over whether Canada will have a public inquiry into foreign interference, Stephenson speaks with The Globe and Mail Ottawa bureau chief Bob Fife and Stephanie Levitz from The Toronto Star, about what the foreign interference controversy means for the parties moving forward – whether or not an inquiry is called.  

After weeks of resisting pressure from all sides, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has ordered two probes into Chinese election interference. This follows The Globe and Mail reporting on secret and top secret CSIS documents alleging a sophisticated strategy by China to disrupt the 2019 and 2021 federal elections.But criticism is still mounting on Trudeau around how transparent and public these probes will actually be. The Globe's Ottawa bureau chief Bob Fife is back to tell us why Trudeau is changing his stance and how likely these probes are to shed light on the extent of China's interference.Questions? Comments?
